do you role play the whole "peasant from the urals thrown into the meatgrinder to his ultimate doom" scenario while cycling the enemy at the gates soundtrack?EatChildren said:
you make peace with bf3 by acknowledging that it's a big, dumb cartoon with an ultra sincere real world visage ("BE ADVISED") spread over it to appease the confused masses, who want to believe they're playing some cutting edge military tech sim, but also don't want play anything that makes them feel stupid.Dmax3901 said:
ro2's moment-to-moment gunplay is leagues beyond bf3, and does that rarest of things in a multiplayer fps; it actually evokes an emotional response.
on a small scale, bf3 is a notch up from call of duty in its transparent attempts to empower and positively reinforce joe gamer. on a large scale, bf3 is a giant adventure playground where you and your buddies can tear ass around an expansive vista, simulating all your greatest childhood army fantasies.

UPDATE CRAP
Started the update DL on my crap 1mbps connection and had to stop it at almost 70%. Come back later and it goes all the way back to 17. Had to pause it again due to other issues and came back to 17 after it had DL'd almost back to the same original DL. Now I'm just getting back to around 60% at 12 30 in the morning!
What in the hell is wrong with this update app!
AND IT WON'T LET ME PLAY DESPITE LETTING ME SKIP THE UPDATE NOW FOR SOME REASON fml

Did they finally put a real concret airway for planes to take off ? How resupply works ? Flying low over the base as in BF2 ?

Fuck. I am sick of spawning and instantly getting sniped by some dude proning with 90% of his body clipping under the ground.

You're assuming we can't change or remove snipers, but there's no reason they have to be the way they are in other games/real life, or be there at all.legacyzero said:
I played around 3 hours of Caspian today and not a single game had a clean finish(which means I made zero progress on my unlocks.) As far as I know that's a relative non-issue with Metro so Dice probably wants to sort that out before making the map public. Then again, why did they put Metro out with all those geometry issues that I don't remember being in the alpha?

Actually made me laugh. Dude was lying on a wall with the glock on his head killing people. He looks like a corpse but he could still fire back.

Download the origin client and wait. The BF3 website says that when the beta is open BF3 will be available for download in the free games section of the client.

Hopefully we get a pre-patch before day 1 patch
The ground clipping is so abuse-able it's not even funny
First set of crates on Metro
Those 2 sets of 3 HUGE ass cinder block that give cover to B, 1 is near the playground/fence or railing area, the other near the water by the rocks
The rocks one is the glicthiest underground hax I have ever seen
If you are Attackers get there, get 15+ kill just shooting from underneath the ground looking up
If your Defender get there, you just locked down that whole fucking area
There's like 12 different places I can say that are abusing worthy
Also what is up with the spawning, GOOD LORD if I'm in prone or my team mate is prone, why do they spawn in prone position but vertically, it like half there body is phased through the ground, it really is a bitch that you kill someone and their teammate spawns, and kills you because 1. invincibility for 2 secs, 2. then you can't shoot them, but they can do it to you
Game is hella' fun, but this game will need patches and a abundant amount at that
Not broken per-say, more of bugs/glitches that need ironing out real quickly, or people will call bloody murder

Operation Metro had me worried, but Caspian Border is like its polar opposite. Going to be hard to play any more Operation Metro during the beta. I can't wait to play the other Conquest maps.
